Bowen Therapy



WHAT IS BOWEN THERAPY?





Bowen Therapy is a gentle remedial muscle therapy that uses small, gentle, purposeful movements to release the fascia (soft connective tissue over the muscle), relaxing the muscles and bringing harmony & balance back to the body.


Bowen therapy was developed by Australian sports trainer, Tom Bowen, over 50 years ago. He initially started treating workmates part-time at his home, before opening a full-time practice after word quickly spread about his amazing 'healing hands'. Through his own study and practice, he developed what we now call Bowen Technique - a technique now offered by 26000 qualified therapists in 30 different countries around the world.



WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BOWEN THERAPY?





Bowen Therapy aims to treat the cause (rather than just the symptoms) of joint pain, muscle issues, sports injuries and other medical conditions that present with ongoing or intermittent pain. Treatment consistently results in deep, long lasting healing and relief. Because Bowen Therapy works on the fascia, it is often used to successfully treat persistent problems that have not responded to medication or other therapies.


Bowen Therapy is beneficial for all ages and can provide the following benefits:

  • relieve muscle aches and pains
  • alleviate headaches and migraines
  • reduce stress and anxiety
  • ease symptoms of colds and flu
  • improve digestive health
  • support conception and pregancy





WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BOWEN THERAPY SESSION?





1. INITIAL CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT


During the initial consult, your therapist will spend some time getting to know your medical history, assess your structural or muscular dysfunction and learn more about your current issues and symptoms.


Please allow approximately 1 hour for your session.


2. THERAPY


Your therapist will commence basic techniques which are applied either directly to the skin or through loose clothing while you lie on a massage table. During treatment, a series of gentle movements are applied to the body with calculated pauses to allow effective fascial release and adequate hydration of cells and tissues. This forms part of the muscular healing process which immediately follows each movement.


3. POST THERAPY AND SUBSEQUENT TREATMENTS


You will be provided advice on post therapy activities to support the treatment, as well as what changes to expect following your session. Subsequent treatments may be advised so that your therapist can review your progress and provide advanced or refined treatments which will further support relief and resolution of your issues.
